Labor Day has passed. It may be over 80 degrees outside, but it's not summer heat. It feels different. It smells different. It even looks different. The green of the maple leaves isn't bright green anymore- it's sorta an orange-y green. Soon the leaves will be red and orange and yellow. School has started. My life has always revolved around an academic calendar. This is the first time that I've had a job that is year round. So even though I'm not starting anything new this fall, I still have that little excited feeling in my stomach that I always get at the start of a new school year. So I am channeling that feeling into making new things.

This weekend is the Music is Art Festival. I'll be set up in the Rose Garden of Delaware Park all day. Hopefully I will get to meet some of you there! It's going to be a great year! [Hopefully no rain... why does it always rain the day of the MiAF?]

Here's a few of the new things I've made recently. You may notice an anatomical theme. And it was only a matter of time before my full-time job of making teeth would creep into my monster biz! I made a Tooth Fairy Monster with a pocket mouth [inspired by Anne losing her first tooth] and an ornament version of my Heart Monster. Both are so fun! Both are available to order in my online shop: ﻿https://squareup.com/market/erinmakesstuff ﻿

Hopefully I'll post again soon... I can't believe I haven't updated this website since April! Oops!
